“not yet been identified because he is a minor”
What kind of policy is this?
Someone may have uttered ‘minor’ but the guy is 31 years old.
I suspect if a drug test is done on the guy....you find a minimum of two drugs in his system.
The police are required to be sure the family is notified before it is released to the public.
It is a reasonable request. Especially in a murder case. They don’t know what is behind the rampage until they investigate. If the family is put in danger from the release, they would be an accessory to any harm that they suffer.
Read the story.
“not yet been identified because he is a minor” refers to one of the victims, who was 16.
